Direction of wind for forced convection

Ziv7 · Feb 23, 2014

I am wondering if in a case where the air velocity comes from one face as shown in the picture. Can I assume the whole area going along the channel will be subject to the same convective coefficient?

Thanks

So I'm not sure if it was clear...
If the convective coefficient for 5m/s is 30. Do I use that for all faces of the channel, or just the front? (where the wind is coming from?
